Sustainability
The Rebecca Recommends team is privileged to travel extensively and experience first-hand the positive impact of sustainable travel on countries where tourism is a key driver for economic growth. We are fortunate to work with several hotel clients who endeavor to improve the tourism experience, whilst enhancing the economic, social, and environmental well-being of their communities.
Travel advisors have a unique opportunity to affect dramatic, positive change by influencing both business supply and traveler demand. Advisors and travelers alike increasingly seek to work with hotels that share their values of sustainable and responsible tourism.
By adding these sustainability projects to hotel sales, advisors can support the properties, add value to their client’s experience, and start to spark traveler awareness of traveling for good. The aim of this document is to share our clients’ endeavors with you and in turn, these initiatives can be integrated into your future client conversations.
